Chapter 84

In the hospital room, Mira helped Katniss back onto the bed and pulled up the covers with care. Katniss was fuming. What a bunch of idiots.

"Your sister doesn't look like you," Mira said.

Katniss grinned. "You some kind of face-reading expert? We're not actually related by blood."

"Of course, my neighbor back home is really good at this stuff. I've picked up a few things over the years," Mira said, sweeping the floor with a broom, her face animated. "You've got a kind face that gets luckier with age." Lucky?

Katniss wasn't convinced. Her past life had been so chaotic and tragic, where was the luck in that?

After tidying up, Mira continued, "But your brow bone is high and close to your eyes, which means you don't have good family ties. You don't get along with your family, do you?" Katniss instinctively touched her brow bone, looking at Mira with curiosity.

It wasn't entirely wrong.

But Mira had seen her fall out with her family before; anyone could tell she didn't get along with them.

Just then, the door opened.

The sound of a wheelchair rolling quietly filled the room.

Katniss looked up and smiled, "Maximilian, it's only noon. How do you have time to come over?"

Lately, Maximilian had been super busy, often coming at night when she was already asleep.

Even though Maximilian visited frequently, she rarely saw him.
